OneSign Selected to Enhance Password Security and Lower IT Costs for Healthcare Providers Using the CPSI System

LEXINGTON, Mass.--Sept. 27, 2005--Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM?), a leading provider of healthcare information solutions, and Imprivata(R), Inc., the enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) appliance company(TM), today announced that the companies have signed a partnership agreement whereby CPSI will resell and directly deliver Imprivata's OneSign solution to their community hospital clients.

"CPSI is excited about this partnership," says Patrick Immel, CPSI Vice President of Information Technology Service. "The OneSign technology has helped many hospitals to ease the password management burden. We look forward to offering our clients this cost effective SSO solution to help them work more efficiently, without compromising system security and ensuring HIPAA compliance."

Imprivata OneSign allows users to access all critical applications with one primary password or authentication method eliminating the need for healthcare professionals to log in to each application. Users do not have to remember multiple difficult passwords, resulting in faster access to critical patient information while enhancing security. The IT department benefits from OneSign's unique Application Profile Generator(TM) which easily learns the password behavior of each application without the need for scripting or application changes.

"Implementation of OneSign will virtually eliminate the growing frustration healthcare providers experience when trying to access patient data that is critical to making quality care decisions, particularly while navigating through the layers of user authentication required for the protection of that data," says Immel. "Access that is simplified, but still secure, can only have a positive impact on patient care."

"OneSign has been making a difference to many hospitals and healthcare organizations by addressing password management problems and general security issues including HIPAA compliance, overburdened IT and medical staff productivity," said Patrick Morley, president and CEO, Imprivata. "This relationship with CPSI will help expand OneSign's value add to the healthcare community by offering a simple, cost effective SSO solution to the CPSI user community."
